Golf resort home to SBC Americas “Tribal Casino of the Year” for North and South America
WORLEY, Idaho (June 15, 2026) – Golfers love to gamble almost as much as they like to play award-winning courses. Few places indulge those passions as successfully as Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel, home to Circling Raven Golf Club, the top-ranked public layout in Idaho and a “Top 100 Resort Course” in America.
Coeur d’Alene Casino reported in late 2025 that visitors to the Coeur d’Alene Tribe-owned entertainment venue hit more jackpots and collected more winnings for the year, the third year in a row that new highs were set in each stat. Good news keeps coming as guests are cashing an average of nearly $1,000 more per jackpot thus far in 2026 ($3.3k in ’26, $2.4k in ’25).
The casino’s Director of Video Gaming, Michelle Whaley, said that the time to process jackpots continues to remain at faster payout times, too. “Our quality of customer service is not lapsing with these increased volumes,” she said.
One would expect nothing less from Coeur d’Alene Casino, which was named “Tribal Operator of the Year” in North and South America by SBC Americas in June 2025. The Tribal Operator of the Year award honored the company that “demonstrated exceptional achievements across multiple areas, including operational excellence, market growth, branding expertise, innovation, commitment to responsible gaming, and dedication to tribal community development,” SBC Americas stated.
Giving back to guests and the community are a core pillar of the Tribe – it has donated more than $37 million to local, state, and regional entities, leading with education. These latest jackpot statistics illuminate how the giving extends beyond philanthropy.
